sometimes locating and finding neps can be frustrating. I remembereed the first time when we were searching for northiana we search aimlessly even with info from the locals. Infos of location and datas of pitchers were inaccurate and misleading of words they heard from other hunters and gatherers.

Due to overcollection northiana is becoming rare along the easy and common trails. we widen our search from all the possible existing routes, routes carve out by hunters,gatherers and gold prospectors. we only managed to find the first northiana on our 3rd field trip.

I believed somewhere thorelii still exist. They have been around before human encroach into their territory. with human activities, opening up of land for devp and agriculture pockets of their population will still exist. Extra days will be needed to search around.
